Question about surgery for my cat

[hlthe2b]

2. Big heavy dogs, no really good alternatives to surgery, but vets have a saying about orthopedic issues in cats...

that goes something like "if it (bone, ligament, tendon) is still "part" of the cat, it will heal (and that is because cats are lightweight weight so that they are not continually putting tremendous force and torque on their limbs--and thus rest & tincture of time can do a lot. That doesn't mean you might not opt for primary surgical repair, just that you have more options, and the long-term results of NOT doing surgery, but rather relying on rest and perhaps some physical therapy later on, are far less consequential.


Good luck.
